The penultimate piece in my procession of panoramic panels is done!  Six ill-tempered layers on this one and each is like a child to me:

Layer 6: (Out of the jar black with a touch of brown)  The youngest and therefore most immature layer.  Clogged up the screen almost on contact.  Virtually useless.  Wants to go to college to be a philosopher or some bullshit.

Layer 5: (Dark Brown) Very annoying.  Required several intermediate screen washes.  Left a big stain on the mesh even after thoroughly washed off.  Will probably run off with pregnant girlfriend.

Layer 4: (Warmish Light Brown)  Was a mistake from the beginning.  Can’t remember how this one was conceived but I think she accidentally got a little acrylic and water-based in her.  Made for a very uneven coat that would get me fired in a real print shop.  Luckily, Layer 5 covered for most of this.  Not that I approve of Layer 5.

Layer 3: (Beige) Just like layer 4.

Layer 2: (Warm light beige)  Went on smooth and lined up with layer one reasonably well.   I have no problem with layer 2.  He talked about business school once or something.
Layer 1: (Warmish off-white) The first born and therefore best layer.  Set a super example for all her siblings but obviously could not save them.  Oh well.  It’s their fucking life.
